The 'dup' command aligns the installed packages with the packages
found in the enabled repositories, taking the repository priorities
into account. Using this command is generally a safe thing to do.

In the context of Tumbleweed using 'dup' is essential, because package
versions might be downgraded, and package names occasionally change.
Only 'dup' will do the correct thing in such cases.

Have you rebuilt with this change in place, or shall I do that after
committing?

The current image has the latest snapshot 20210706, so today it has no effect.

I'm testing this new build and will update the README before pushing an update.

Ok.  I won't commit this patch yet.

Please include it in a series of any/all changes to the tumbleweed
container, so we can commit all patches around the same time that we
update the live containers.

I sent out two individual other patches for automation, but nothing substantial.

I think a new image can be built with current staging, further changes will not affect the contents of such image.

Now it gets up to the ipxe failure due to gcc11 being the default compiler since a couple of weeks.
